Racists &#8212; both past and present &#8212; dehumanized, enslaved, lynched, disenfranchised, harassed and assaulted the African-American community. \u201cIn short, racists denied people who looked like me the blessings of liberty &#8212; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,\u201d said Warren. \u201cOf course, the irony here is that the first and foremost of blessings is life. Yet, Gillibrand says that people who seek to protect lives who look like me are like racists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren pointed to the disproportionately high rate of abortion among the Black community. \u201cIn all, over <a href=\"https:\/\/rtl.org\/multicultural-outreach\/black-abortion-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19 million<\/a> unborn Black children have been aborted since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. That\u2019s about 35 percent of those aborted, but people who look like me are only 12 percent of the population. [&#8230;] So, if Senator Gillibrand had her way, the only judges who would be appointed are the ones who support the ending of lives in the womb, of people who look like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nfl-star-benjamin-watson-abortion-is-the-ultimate-form-of-racism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL star Benjamin Watson: Abortion is \u2018the ultimate form of racism\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other pro-life activists in the Black community have also been outspoken about the racism of abortion in America.

Black women typically abort at a rate roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/4-african-americans-dedicated-saving-lives-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">four times higher<\/a> than that of white women, while Planned Parenthood has 79% of its surgical abortion locations within <a href=\"http:\/\/www.protectingblacklife.org\/pp_targets\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walking distance of minority neighborhoods<\/a>, and has been caught accepting donations specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/viewers-react-to-video-showing-planned-parenthood-accepting-donations-to-abort-black-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to abort Black babies<\/a>.
